"Not interested. You can keep it." Su Yun's lips curled up slightly, his smile carrying a hint of mockery and teasing, making it hard to tell whether he was genuinely uninterested or just doing it on purpose.

His bright, star-like eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the other person with a half-smile, his tone relaxed and casual.

"No way!" Chi Zao rolled her eyes mischievously, like an innocent child. She pouted, crossed her arms, and made a sulky face. Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her hair in a soft golden glow, making her look even more charming and adorable.

Just as the two were chatting and joking with each other, a sudden commotion arose outside. The voices rose and fell, mixed with panic and anxiety, followed by chaotic footsteps, like a sudden rainstorm, approaching from afar.

"Oh no! Someone's drowning in the sea! Everyone, go check it out!" someone shouted at the top of their lungs, their voice filled with tension and fear.

"Oh dear, the ambulance hasn't arrived yet! What are we going to do?" Another voice followed, filled with worry and unease.

Chi Zao, who had been concentrating on her meal, froze instantly upon hearing the sudden news. Her chopsticks stopped in mid-air, her mouth gaped open, her eyes widened, and her face showed astonishment. She sat there blankly, as if frozen in place, completely motionless.

After a while, Chi Zao finally snapped out of her daze. She turned sharply to look at Su Yun beside her and said urgently, "Su Su, let's go take a look! Maybe we can help." With that, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to leave.

However, Su Yun just shook his head helplessly and sighed, saying, "Why do you always have to join in on every little thing?" Although he said that, he still followed Chi Zao and walked quickly towards the door.

"Really, it's okay! Come with me, okay?" Chi Zao shook Su Yun's arm coquettishly, her big eyes blinking as she looked at her, just like a cute and mischievous kitten, and she would occasionally rub her head against Su Yun affectionately.

However, Su Yun remained calm and unaffected, simply saying, "You should finish your meal first." Then she continued to elegantly enjoy the food in front of her.

Hearing this, Chi Zao couldn't sit still any longer. She slammed her hands on the table and stood up abruptly, her movements so swift they were astonishing. "Oh dear, I'm already full! Look!" she exclaimed, patting her flat stomach as if to prove it to Su Yun. Then, without waiting for a second, she grabbed Su Yun's hand and started to pull him out.

Just then, Su Yun's anxious shouts came from behind: "Wait! Get an umbrella! Get an umbrella! It's raining heavily outside!" This sudden shout made Chi Zao stop abruptly, as if she had suddenly remembered something important. Then, she turned around and rushed into the house like a gust of wind, and in no time, she returned with an antique-style oil-paper umbrella in her hand.

When they came out again, Chi Zao had a bright smile on her face. She held Su Yun's hand tightly and didn't want to waste a moment. She pulled her and hurriedly stepped out of the door, running into the rain.

Along the way, Su Yun wore a long white dress, the hem of which swayed gently with their steps, like beautiful butterflies dancing in the air. Surprisingly, despite the muddy ground, the white hem of her dress remained spotless, without a single drop of mud on it. In contrast, Chi Zao wore blue denim shorts, revealing her long, fair legs. Because she was running so fast, the splashes of rain mercilessly lashed her legs, forming tiny, glistening droplets that, from a distance, looked like sparkling diamonds embedded in her skin.

When they rushed to the place, they found it already packed with people, three or four deep. Chi Zao, petite and agile, darted and bumped through the dense crowd like a nimble little monkey. After much effort, she finally managed to squeeze out a small, narrow space from the throng.

Full of curiosity, she craned her neck forward, opened her eyes wide for a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh my god! This...this is actually my classmate from university!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun, who was standing to the side, was instantly filled with astonishment. His expression was as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world. His mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time. He could only stammer out, "Ah?"

Just then, a piercing siren blared from afar, growing louder as it approached. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an ambulance flashing red and blue lights, speeding towards them like an arrow released from a bow. As soon as the doors opened, a group of well-trained medical personnel appeared like divine warriors, rushing to the injured person's side with lightning speed. Their movements were skillful yet gentle, quickly initiating first aid.

Not long after, the girl, who had been unconscious and lifeless, began to show slight reactions, like a delicate flower that had been dormant for a long time slowly unfolding its petals, gradually showing signs of awakening. Seeing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the medical staff carefully lifted the stretcher, gently placed the girl on it, and then carefully escorted the stretcher towards the ambulance. Every step was taken with extreme caution, as if the person lying on the stretcher was not an ordinary injured person, but a priceless treasure.

After the ambulance sped away with the girl, Chi Zao and Su Yun turned and headed home. Chi Zao's curious heart remained restless the entire way. As soon as she got home, she eagerly grabbed her phone and opened her classmates' group chat, wanting to see if there were any updates on the matter. However, to her great disappointment, this hot gossip seemed like a shy, timid girl, hiding and refusing to show herself. So, Chi Zao decisively canceled the group chat's "Do Not Disturb" setting, confident that soon, all sorts of related news would flood her screen like a surging tide.

"Oh my god, this is absolutely ridiculous! How can you guys be so gossipy?" Su Yun stared wide-eyed at Chi Zao's astonishing actions, her mouth agape, practically wide enough to fit an egg.
